What if They Had a Science War and Only One Side Showed Up? - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education: "Within a few days, the executive board began receiving angry e-mails from self-identified scientific anthropologists who were irate about dropping the word "science" from the long-range plan. Some announced that they would be resigning from the association. Most had not seen the "What Is Anthropology?" statement, with its reference to science, and they were not mollified by protestations that science was implied by the new long-range plan's references to archaeology and biological anthropology. The word "science" had taken on a talismanic significance, and our critics wanted to see it in the long-range plan."
Into the thickets of academic self-images. I thought I had left anthropology when I despaired of (much of) the Girard group I was in.
